In order to understand the model range of Singapore Airlines aircraft, a short digression into history is necessary. The fact is that Boeings began to be operated quite recently. Prior to this, for more than thirty years, wide-body models of the Airbus A310 were used, which were more attractive and comfortable from the point of view of an ordinary passenger. Embarkation and disembarkation in airbuses was carried out at two boarding gates, and the carrying capacity was much greater than that of the 757th Boeing. And, since 1984, wide-body models have completely replaced flights in the premium class, leaving narrow-body models to low-class airliners like SilkAir, Scoot, Tiger Airways, Air Asia, Valuair.

The merger process began in 2021, it was then that the first Boeing 737-800 Singapore Airlines appeared, which immediately opened direct flights to Thailand.
